You do not get df/dx once you have defined x as x(t). You get the Chain Rule:
dfdx = diff(f)
produces:
dfdx(t) =
D(x)(t)*y(t) + x(t)*D(y)(t)
The command diff(f,x) or diff(f, x(t)) throws an error.

In your case, the independent variable is only t, while x and y are dependent of t. To derive the f function partially in terms of x or y, you will need the fulldiff function:
